ORONO WEEKLYTIMES, THURSDAY, JULY 4th, 1968 'RONOWEE1 KL'Y TI YES (Âutorie3,s Scond Class mail, Ps fieDeýpartanent, Ottawa) Piablîihed every ThursdLay at the office ofý publicatioe Main Street, Phonee 109, Orono, (intario Estab1isheýd in 153"S by Rt. A. Forrester Roy C. Forrester - Ed4.tr and Manager Everyone Can Jo'in In Last year Orono entered the Cenitennial Celebrations with a number of events held during a one-week period. This venture proved so, successfui that we .are now facing a 101 celebration, ir Orono with activities startffig on July 1th and continuing through to Saturday. . These ~activities are such that the whole comniunity can enjoy an evening or two with their friends and neigh- bours. It is this fellowship with one another that makes these events so successful. The four-day program commences en Wednesd~ay, JUIy lth at, the Orono Park for a Beef Bar B-Q with ail the, trimmrings. It is i effect, a cornmunity picnic in the Park. On Thursday at the rink another community event in the form of a talent show is being staged for your enjoy- ment. Here again it is community involvement. Harness racing at the Orono Fair Grounds follow on Friday evening which is a new venture in Orono this year. Saturday it is the Shopper's Mail on the Main Street where merchants peddle their wares on the street itself. They are offering splendid buys and prizes for those i at- teindance. Plan now to attend and join in'a good old-fashioned get-ogether. A Need Here A goodly number of times we have heard of the day vvhen Orono had one telephone and no radio. It so happened when one of. the bj.g heavy-weight figlits was being fought, a group of men in Armstrong's store, ihterested in the out- corne were rnaking. frequent calîs to the Globe and Mail, Toronto, to learn how the match was. progressing. Tbat was a good number of years ago, Today radios and elephones ethance every home in the community an.d there is 110 problem of -c1nmmunication for 'the local residents. However let it be a traveller or va- cationer passing through our Village who iniglit wish Vo communicate outside the Villae. Ris chance is nil unless lie can borrow or use a private phone in one of the stores. Oronio is without an operating pay telephone. This service, one which, is available ih any commun- ity, should be restore d in Orono. No doubt there was dam- age to the units housed on the street but hs must be some- thing that is faced in any centre. Is Orono that different? If an outsiide ~phone receives too mucli abuse,, how about placing one in a store in the Village, something is certainly better than nothing! Polities Will Nkýqeyer 'BeThe Samne Againi Wliatever else Prime Minister Trudeau may accom- plisli lie las already ushered in a new era in pôlitical cam- paigiiing for Canada's second century. Electioneering, is neyer likely Vtolie the same again. Issues will remait but how a man deals with them will have greater impact than the position lie takes on them. The era of political promises - -so long the stock -in trade of the aldline politicians - lias closed. In tlie federal campaign, the leader wlio won made virtually no promises of th-e type wliiclilad been traditional. The TrudJea-u approýacli to thie electorate was new too. Rlis camîpaig2n sceemeýd btobe planned Vo have more people see hlm than iearhi. When lie made appearances at sliop- pin1g plaz, he niacmre often seen than heard. Parades were oranld ih h samie strategy. Tlie prime minister drewprobblyone of the largest crowds in Canadian polit- ical hsoysm 45,000 at Toronto's. city hall-but lis addrss ws lss than 15 minutes in lengtli. A crowdv like that in previous politicking would liave miade a mrajor speech by the leader or candidateý obligatory. An old ti"mer wonld have felt compelled Vo liold forth for an hounr or two. But the days of regularly scheduled major addresses may have gone by the boards too. Clarkçe Council Approves Fina:,:ncing Schooul Addition The Clarke Township Council on Tuesday gave their approval for the debenturing of finances for the addition Vo the Port Hope Hîgh School. The request 'was made by the Durham Coutty- District High Sehool Board. The total cost of the addition amounts Vo $1,624,500 which includes, building, archi- tecet fees and furnishings.
